DecoView decorative screen doors, laser cut or perforated
A front door people notice for the right reasons. Pick a design, then pick the build: laser cut 3 mm marine grade aluminium with the insect mesh of your choice behind it, or a single 2 mm perforated sheet that needs no mesh at all. Powder coated to match your home. We are an authorised DecoView dealer for the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Logan and Ipswich.

What DecoView does for your home
DecoView is a decorative screen door made in Australia by Decoview, and it comes two ways. Laser cut: the design is cut from a 3 mm sheet of marine grade aluminium, and an insect mesh sits behind it, standard fly mesh, midge mesh, Paw Proof or stainless, your choice. Perforated: the same design is punched into a single 2 mm sheet with holes small enough that no mesh is needed, which gives more privacy and the stronger panel of the two. Every design is available in either build, in a contoured aluminium frame with stainless hinges and a single or triple lock, powder coated to match your home.
It suits a front door that should be a feature, rendered and Hamptons-style homes, and matching gates and privacy screens. We sell DecoView on its design, build and triple lock; if a tested security rating is what you need, SecureView and Xceed are the screens we put that claim on.
Two builds, the same designs
Laser cut or perforated: the pattern you pick is available in both. What changes is what sits behind it, how much you can see through it, and how strong the panel is.

How DecoView compares with our mesh screens
DecoView trades some view and airflow for design. Here is how much.
DecoView, SecureView and Xceed compared
DecoView
3 mm laser cut or 2 mm perforated aluminium, open area 7.6 to 74 percent by design, your choice of mesh behind the laser cut, 10 years. Price band: premium.
SecureView
0.8 mm 316 stainless mesh, 42.71 percent open area, near-invisible view, BAL 12.5 to 29, 11 years. Price band: premium.
Xceed
1.6 mm perforated aluminium, 69.6 percent open area, privacy and shade, BAL 29, 7 years with 12 months on locks. Price band: mid.
A common combination: DecoView on the front door for the look, SecureView or Xceed on the back doors and windows for the view. Same installer, one measure.
Colours and finishes
Black and white do most of the work on modern homes, but DecoView is powder coated in your choice of over 200 Interpon or Dulux colours, so a deep green Monstera, a charcoal Reeds or a colour pulled from your render are all on the table. Frame and design are coated together. We bring the colour chart and the design chart to the measure.
Warranty
Decoview backs its decorative security screen doors with a 10-year warranty. Cleaning with mild soapy water and a soft cloth every few months is a condition, more often near the coast. Full terms and how to claim are on the warranty page.

DecoView decorative security screens questions
Is a DecoView door a real security door?
It is a strong door: a solid 3 mm sheet of marine grade aluminium (2 mm for perforated) held in a contoured aluminium frame with stainless steel hinges and a single or triple lock. We sell it on that, not on a security rating. If a tested security screen is what the opening needs, SecureView and Xceed are the products we put that claim on, and a common combination is DecoView on the front door for the look with SecureView on the rest.
Does DecoView keep insects out?
Yes, both builds. A laser cut door has an insect mesh behind the design, standard fibreglass as the default, or midge mesh, Paw Proof or stainless if you want it, with a foam spline and a colour-matched bug seal around the frame; the mesh sits behind the aluminium, so it does not change the look from the street. A perforated door needs no mesh at all, because the holes are too small for insects.
Can I get a gate, privacy screen or pool fence to match my door?
Yes. Decoview cuts the same designs for designer gates, privacy screens and Pool Perf pool fencing panels. Matching the side gate to the front door is the detail that makes the whole facade look planned. Ask at the measure and we will quote them together.
What colours does DecoView come in?
Interpon or Dulux powder coat, in a wide range of colours. Black and white are the common picks, but a colour matched to your render, gutters or window frames is what makes the door look designed in rather than added on. Frame and panel are coated together. We bring the colour chart to the measure.
Can DecoView be fitted to a pivot door or a double door?
Yes. DecoView works with pivot doors, and we have fitted laser cut double doors on a stone-clad entry and a Reeds door with the heavier Deluxe frame in Underwood. Standard laser cut panels go up to 1490 x 2990 mm, which covers most oversized entries. Odd shapes are covered on the custom openings page.
How much light and breeze will I lose?
It depends on the design. Every DecoView pattern has an open area figure, from 7.6 to 74 percent on laser cut designs and 21 to 69 percent on perforated ones. A Reeds or Monstera in the 40s feels open; a dense geometric in the teens reads as a privacy screen. We show the open area on every tile in the design picker and bring the chart to the measure.
Which DecoView design is most popular?
On our jobs, Monstera (Ormeau), Reeds (Underwood) and Cube 2 (Pimpama) come up most, and the palm-frond and leaf designs suit the rendered and Hamptons-style homes going up around the Gold Coast. The right answer depends on your facade, how much privacy you want and how much light the hallway needs. Bring a photo of the front of your house to the measure and we will narrow it to three.
Is DecoView suitable for a coastal home?
Yes. The sheet is 5052 or 5251 marine grade aluminium, the frame is 6063 T6 aluminium, the hinges are stainless steel and the whole thing is powder coated, so there is nothing to rust. Rinse it with fresh water every few weeks if you are right on the beach, every few months elsewhere, and avoid abrasive cleaners. The midge mesh option is worth considering near the canals.
What warranty does DecoView carry?
Decoview backs its decorative security screen doors with a 10-year warranty. Regular cleaning is a condition. The warranty page will list the terms for every product in one place and explain how to claim.
